We tap and hold the top of the screen and swipe downwards. We will have the quick settings menu. We have several icons on the screen. These are the applications that we have in our quick settings menu. We can edit the application list by adding new items if we want to.

Let's tap and hold the three gray horizontal lines for "GPS", for example.

The option will become active and will be able to be moved around. If we keep dragging it up to the top section. We must make sure that we are in the top section. There are two sections here. The second says "HIDDEN ITEMS (DRAG TO ADD TO QUICK SETTINGS)", and the first section is above it. The first section is quick settings.

For example, "Screenshot". To do that, we repeat the last process. We tap and hold the three gray horizontal lines icon. We hold down the option until it becomes active and drag it to the first section.

There is "DONE (12/12)" in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen.

"12/12" means that we have 12 places. We can move some of the options from the first section out. We can exchange them. We can take out some of the options from the quick settings, but we can only have 12. We have to mix and match. We cannot have everything in the quick settings.

There are still a lot of options in "HIDDEN ITEMS (DRAG TO ADD TO QUICK SETTINGS)". We cannot include all of them. If we want to include some more of them, we must take some of the quick settings options out and exchange them with the ones that we want to place in the quick settings.

This concludes our tutorial on how to add new items to the quick settings menu on the HTC One M8. If you have any questions or comments about this video or about the process in this video, then please leave them in the comment section below. We shall answer them for you.
